[AccessD] Unzip Files Part II

Also, why not just use a *.zip in the winzip command line?  It'll do it all
for you....

Hello All,

I gave up on a command line to use XP's unzip...I bought WINZIP and wrote 2 
functions:
1.  uses DIR to get all files in a certain folder and loop through until the

end of directory...(works fine)
2.  shells to winzip and extracts needed files to determined folder...(works

fine)

Then I called function 2 from function 1 as it looped through each 
file...and after the first file was unzipped...the loop determined it was at

the end of of the directory.

Any ideas why this happens?

Unless there are any ideas for a better approach/workaround...I plan on 
movig the DIR inside the loop...and then deleting the .zip file after its 
extracted...then add an IF statement that ends the loop if the DIR returns 
nothing.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks,

Mark A. Matte
